as PUBLIC LIBRARY Crowd Attending Informal Reception During Evening Estimated to Have Exceeded One Thousand "Albuquerque haa done Itself proud. It haa built a library representative of the great aouthwevt that all of New Mexico may and will be proud of. The city owes much to the designers, Arthur Koa-iter and Gustave Baumann, who have so ably typified the pueblo style of architecture in their creation." Thla sentiment voiced to a reporter from the Morning Journal by Governor liannett during the evening was resounded in some form by more than a thousand visitors who flocked into the new Albuquerque public library on its opening evening. Though at the close of the reception only 360 names were registered on the book, it was evident during the evening that only a small fraction were able to reach the book. With people coming and going continually, the estimated crowd for nearly two houra never passed below Dull.

The large crowd practically made It tmposNible fur the formation of the reception line. Instead Governor liannett and the city commission were the center of a revolving maw, other special guests In attendance were Gustave Baumann, of Hunta Fe, and George Itosaiter, designer of the library, and L'dward B. bwope, state land commissioner. And through it all, a seven-piece orchestra played, a colored chef served countless gallons of punch, Boy Scouts kept the two large Indian lire places in the cornera o( the building blazing merrily, volunteers paseed postal cards of the Interior of the library and everybody congratulated somebody. Based on styles of different pu eblos throughout the southwest, the building cannot be said to be a copy of any one architecture.

Altec lines are dominant In the structure. The Interior designed by Ar thur Uossiur is one large room, waist high, partitions separating the various departments. In the southeast and southwest corners are two large Indian fireplaces. ljirge wooden pillars known to the Indians as vegas, support the interior. Interior decorating was done by Gustave Baumann, famed international artist.

The color scheme is tan and creme with splashea of brighter colors aurroundlng the fireplaces and doorways. The library is completely equipped with Indian Mission furniture designed and made by Mr. Kossiter and Mr. Baumann at the Hrecee Furniture factory. Backs of the chairs represent various Indian symbols.

The Albuquerque Library association will enter their new building with a total of 7.000 books. The association has on hand $3,000, part of which will be used for Immediate purchase of books. About MiO more books are expected to be added to the library by purchase within a short time. During the past few weeks books have been donated for use in the library by citizens. The association hopes to add a large number to their stock during the next few days.

Accordingly they have Bet aside March i'o to April 1 as "Book Week." During thla time they hope thrtt Albuquerque residents will make a special effort to give either new or second hand books to the library.

Mrs. Jay Turley In commenting on the opening, said that the sue cess of the reception was due to the work of many individuals who volunteered their services. As an illustration she cited how Miss Helen Hayes, secretary to Prof.

"The National Guard." It txt plained, "had Its appropriations at the commencement of the current fiscal year. The President haa repeatedly stated that the appropriations granted by congress are the maximum amounts which may be expended, not the minimum, which should be explained.

He sees no reason why the National Guard should be an exception to this rule. "The printed hearing show that the appropriations committees jf both the House of Representative and the Senate were importuned bv a representative of the National Guard to grant this Increase In appropriations," the statement continued. "The budget and accountings act specifically provides that no estimate or request for en appropriation and no request for an Increase in any Item of any such estimate or request shall be submitted te congress or any committee thereof by any officer or employe of any department or establishment, unless at the request of either house of congress. Tn this lnsanc the officer of the National Guard, who appeared before the committees of congress and who advocated an Increase In the estimate evidently considered that he waa not subject to the provision of tha budget and accounting act. Tha President takes the view tht.

aa the law empowers him to submit estimate for the National Guard, the beneficiaries of th appropriations which may flow from such amounts are amenable to th bud-gel atttl accounting act," STORM FRANKFORT ACCOUNTED Ur I mi DUffit IS ATTACKED BT TS Declares the Entire Structure Is Without the Foundation of Law; Section After Section Is Cited SINCERITY OF REAR ADMIRAL IS VINDICATED Robison Declared to Have Been "a Very Pliant Person in the Hands of Fall" Who Executed Contract Cheyenne, March 21 Py the Associated Press The "in ceritv of Hear Admiral J. K. Hob. Ison. chief of navy engineering.

In fostering for the navy the leasing of Teapot Dome waa vindicated today by Owen J. ltoberta. attorney for the government. In hie argu ment before Federal Judge T. Hlake Kennedy In the Teapot Dome lease annulment case.

"Uoblson wanted to get oil and storage because of his navy Ideas, said Mr. Roberts. "Hut he didn't want to go to congress for them. So he Planned the leasing of lea pot Dome and the use of royalty oil accruing to the government as a medium of exchange with which to build great storage tanks and acquire a large aupply of fuel oil as a part of his war plana for the navy." Admiral Tory Pliant Referring at another point to P.oblson'a connection with the caae. Mr.

Roberts said that tha admiral was "a very pliant person In the hands of Albert B. Fall," then Secretary of the Interior, who executed the lease to Harry F. Sinclair's Mammoth Oil company. "Drainage of Teapot Dome," aid Mr. Roberts, "waa not the reason for the lease.

Uoblson. as chief engineer of the navy, thought that fighting branch of the government ought to have great oil stores. Ilia egotism in handling the project for the navy made him a very pliant person in the hands of Fall. He didn't care a rap who got the lease or how It was made, as long as he obtained for tha navy enough royalty oil to carry out hlj plan and without going to congress for it. "Fall Had One Object" "Fall had one object.

Uoblson had another and they were wholly different, but thla particular scheme of leasing the great reserve met the needa of both." Mr. Roberts declared that long before the lease was granted, Sin clair bought up the placer mining and other claims of Individuals in the reserve area, and that the evidence had shown that for these he had paid $1,000,000 to the Pioneer Oil company, and that the placer claims were practically worthless. "1 don't see how these people ran be blamed for getting their money out of the placer mining claims," said Judge Kennedy. "Neither do 1, air," replied Mr. Roberts "If I had had the claim and could have got a million or ao out of Mr.

Sinclair I would have done so." St hulTer Wllhlti Ills Rights Mr. Roberts then explained that John C. Shaffer, Chicago and Denver newspaper publisher, waa within his rights In offering his share of the claim to Fall In exchange for a portion Of the lease. He further asserted that Fall directed Shaffer to take hla claim to Sinclair and that this waa before the lease waa algned. "Mr.

Shatter Is not at all to be blamed." Mr. Roberta said. "On or about March 1, 1922, Mr. Shaffer" asked Secretary Fall for land on Teapot Dome and on March 20 he renewed his request. There was no secrecy connected with any of his dealings.

"Secretary Fall told Mr. Shaffer that he had decided to lease the dome to Sinclair, but that he hnd arranged that 200 acres be reserved for Mr. Shaffer. Mr. Shaffer said that he did not consider 200 acres enough and Secretary Fall told him that he could go to Mr.

Sinclair and attempt to arrange an equitable settlement. "As with Mr. Shaffer, no secrecy was used In connection with the re quest made by Mr. Gerald Hughes of Denver, for land on Teapot Dome." Mr. Roberts attacked the entire structure of the lease as without the foundation of law.

Section af ter section he cited of the agree ment and branded them all as In compatible with the Intent of the act of June 4. 1920, under which the transfer of the reserve to the Interior Department was made, Attacks Drainage Theory As one contention against the excuse that the reserve was leased to forestall drainage by the wells In the adjacent Salt Creek field, Mr. Roberts pointed out that the contract allowed six months for the drilling of twenty wells; that only fifteen of the wells eventually were drilled, and that only three of these were placed near the "saddle" or drainage point between Salt Creek and Teapot Dome. It Is insignificant, he said, that the great share of the wells were drilled far to the south and away trom the "danger point" between the two fields. E.

H. Chandler, attorney for the Sinclair Pipe Line company and the Sinclair Crude Oil Purchasing company, argued to sustain possession within the reserve of oil tanks, an oil pump and the pipe line easement which were established in connection with the leasing program. The two Sinclair companies are co-defendants In the case and the government alleges they are tres passers on the reserve. J. W.

Lacey of defense counsel, will begin his argument tomorrow morning. This -argument, he said. will be highly technical and probably will require most of the court day. DING IS BETTER De Moines, Iowa, March 23. Phvsician attending J.

British laior Arbitration The British view la said to be that a pact of the proposed character would be successful. In the light of modern diplomatic understanding, only when it tnrluilea both aillea and enemies of the World War and pledges them to use arbitration in nettling their International difficulties. It la said that the British plan la for a security pact based on arbitration and the unconditional admission of Germany to the League of Nations. Germany would be bound to agree to such a program, it is believed here, because she has taken the initiative in suggesting a non-aKgresMve pact and because her admission to the Lengue of Nations tnt b- accomplished before that body will undertake the reconsideration of the Polish frontier dispute. The British cabinet Is said to be gradually coming around to this plan, which has been sponsored by Foreign Minister Austen Chamberlain.
